Unseen replied to Ed's discussion 'The mob psychology of human sacrifice.'"I think you're overlooking cultural differences which may play a more important role than mob psychology or depravity. Just look at how differently, for example, a Hindu views eating beef from an American lover of BBQ."
""With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion. " - Steven Weinberg"
Unseen replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"I take it this is the core of your argument:
Regardless of her actions concerning her body, he is responsible for the existence of that child and is automatically (according to our laws) held liable for that child's well…"
Susan K. Perry commented on Sniz's group 'Read Atheist'"So this group really needs updating. Plenty of us readers, but hardly anything current going on. As an atheist reader AND writer, I'll be suggesting my own book soon, but hey, where is everyone?"
Welcome to TA
Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
